Bulbs planted, mulch laid, bricks discovered(!), last of 3 loads of laundry this weekend is drying, cover back on futon and I just pulled the cauliflower that I roasted with curry powder from the oven. I've never roasted cauliflower before, I like it in curry sauces, so we'll see.

Had to warm up the kitchen somehow (no radiator in there) and the cauli was a $2 impulse buy at the market.

I just set my TiVo to record it at 1:30--I guess "on right now" is 1:30 on the East Coast, huh? :) Thanks for letting me know!!

You are correct!

Thanks, Zen. I'm just super cautious after the burst pipe nightmare of last year. And I need to keep the house in good shape until the deed in lieu process is done. AFAIK there are no hoses attached to the bibs and the water is turned off.

If the water is turned off, you should have no problem.

I was right to plan to do something else (other than just eat it) with this pot roast -- as I thought I remembered, it was a really crappy piece of meat! So another hour or so in the pot with the sauce should help. And it smells delicious!

Oh! I just put on the tv and heard one of my new food show pet peeves! How do you people pronounce "Worcestershire sauce"? I keep hearing people call it war-chester sauce.

I sort of mumble it as "werr-che-ster" and hope that's close.

wush-tuh-sure?

Woostersheer. And it always puts me in mind of that marvellous Lea & Perrins commercial-slash-porn for hearing-impaired amnesiacs: "Once you were dry. I MADE YOU JUICY!"
